DB: MySQL MaxDB Web Interface Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in MaxDB Web Interface. Successful attackers can crash the server.
Extended Description
A remotely exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists in MaxDB. The cause of this condition is an input validation error that is exposed when an internal function in the WebDBM handles a client-supplied 'Server' name in an HTTP request that includes specific values. This will reportedly trigger an exception due to an assert directive failing, resulting in a denial of service condition in the web agent. This issue was reportedly tested on Windows and Linux versions. Other versions could also be affected.
